The dog has chewed through the wires to the reversing light. Does it matter if I make a repair with a slightly thicker wire? Basic electrics I should know I suppose.

As long as it still fits in any connections

Provided you make the joints properly then it makes no difference.

Slightly thicker? No
Massively thicker? Might effect the resistance but it would have to be a huge cable to be a noticable difference
